The People's Commissariat of Enlightenment must organize supervision of all screenings and systematize this matter. All films that are demonstrated in the RSFSR must be registered and numbered in the People's Commissariat of Enlightenment. For each cinema program a definite proportion must be established:

a) entertainment pictures, specially for advertisement and for income (of course, without obscenity and counterrevolution), and

b) under the heading "From the Life of Peoples of All Countries" — pictures of specially propagandistic content, such as: England's colonial policy in India, the work of the League of Nations, the hungry in Berlin, etc., etc. One must show not only cinema, but also photographs of interest for propaganda with corresponding captions. Achieve that cinemas in private hands provide sufficient income to the state in the form of rent; grant entrepreneurs the right to increase the number of showings and introduce new ones, but with mandatory censorship by the People's Commissariat of Enlightenment and on condition of maintaining the proportion between entertainment pictures and pictures of propagandistic character under the title "From the Life of Peoples of All Countries," so that industrialists would be interested in the creation and production of new films. They must be given wide initiative within these limits. Pictures of propagandistic and educational character must be submitted for review
